The initial challenge of the three is apprentice challenge, I have gone through it as a

These skills I developed through it are useful for me and my future career goal. These skills are
as discussed:

communication skills in order to express my opinion and valuable views to my peer
group as well as my tutors or professors and the professional members. The effective
communication skills helps me in communicating with others in the best manner
possible and also to share my views which are needed to be examined and judged for
understanding the change is required.

member of the team is involved with the tasks assigned and working for attaining the
common objective. This skill helped me in working with my peer and gain better results
by combined efforts of all.

scheduling of all the different tasks which are assigned to us in regards to our curriculum
